The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 148: Imperial Decree to Seal the City
"With all the noise and fury, have you forgotten the palace rules?" Emperor Dongli looked at the person in front of him and thought about it in his mind. He really had no impression of her.

"I really have no other choice, so I came to see Your Majesty, and only ask Your Majesty to save the prince." The concubine bowed and saluted deeply to Emperor Dongli, and the sadness in her tone could not be concealed.

"You go to the imperial physician when your child is sick. What's the point of going to me? Do you think I can cure any disease?" Emperor Dongli frowned. Is he trying to use his son to win favor again?

"I thought the child just caught a cold occasionally, so I consulted a doctor, who prescribed some medicine, but the child didn't get better after taking the medicine."

"I am a humble concubine, so I dare to ask Your Majesty to allow an imperial physician to come and help. After all, he is also your son..."

After saying this, Noble Lady Wen felt uneasy. If she had not been suppressed by the Queen all the time, the prince would not have been unable to invite an imperial physician when he fell ill.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Emperor Dongli was about to agree.

At this time, Bai Qianxi's voice rang out, "My lord, I know a little bit about medicine. Can you tell me about the child's condition?"

Noble Lady Wen had kept her head down. She didn't expect that there was someone else in the imperial study. She was a little surprised when she heard this and subconsciously looked at Emperor Dongli with some questions.

After getting a nod from the other party, he felt relieved to tell the child about his condition. "At first, he just had a slight cold, but later he had a high fever after taking the medicine."

"Do you have a cough or a sore throat?" Bai Qianxi asked.

"Yes, ever since he got sick, his spirits have not been very good, he often coughs and has a fever, and now he is even more drowsy and cannot be woken up no matter how hard we call him."

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so anxious.

Bai Qianxi pondered for a moment after hearing this and asked a few more questions.

For example, when did the child first become ill, and who or what did he or she come into contact with recently?
After getting the answer, Bai Qianxi's expression became more serious.

Seeing her like this, Wen Guiren became very worried, "Miss, what's going on with the child? Is it some incurable disease?"

"Miss Bai, what do you think?" Emperor Dongli also noticed Bai Qianxi's expression and asked.

"If I am not mistaken, this prince must have also contracted the plague. A common fever would not cause this. The best way now is to isolate him first to prevent infection."

"The specific treatment plan still needs further research by this servant."

“What did you say! How…how could it be…” Before Emperor Dongli could even open his mouth, Concubine Wen’s eyes widened in shock.

I couldn't even utter the last two words.

"How could it be! He has always stayed in the palace and has never had any contact with the outside world. Besides, I have never heard of anything like that..."

Emperor Dongli also looked serious, and looked directly at Bai Qianxi, "Do you dare to be responsible for what you said?"

"dare."

"Well, Deyu, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask the director to come over and take a look at Noble Wen!"

Emperor Dongli gave the order immediately.

Lady Wen was instantly moved to tears of gratitude and immediately offered to lead the way.

After the two men left, Emperor Dongli set his eyes on Bai Qianxi again. He saw that she was just a concubine's daughter of a fourth-rank official, but she stood in front of him with her back straight, appearing neither humble nor arrogant.

Emperor Dongli turned his gaze to Mr. Zhao again, "My dear, what do you think about this matter?"

"I support Miss Bai's opinion. This matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed. If Your Majesty does not believe it, I can act as a guarantor for Miss Bai!" Uncle Zhao gritted his teeth and said the last sentence.

Once these words were spoken, it meant that he was completely tied to Bai Qianxi.

If what Bai Qianxi said about the plague is not true, the Zhao family will also be implicated.

Seeing how determined he was to protect Bai Qianxi, Emperor Dongli gritted his teeth.

"Come here, pass on my decree. From now on, the city will be sealed off! No refugees are allowed to enter or leave. Citizens in the city should not go out unless it is important." "The court will be adjourned tomorrow morning. Only officials above the third rank can enter the palace to discuss important matters!"

Since he is going to do it, he must do it to the best of his ability.

As soon as Emperor Dongli issued the decree, people immediately began to copy it.

After doing all this, Emperor Dongli looked at Bai Qianxi again and said, "Since you discovered this, I will leave it to you to take the lead and take full responsibility for the solution to this matter. I will send the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to assist you."

"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations!"

Emperor Dongli was satisfied when he saw Bai Qianxi accepted the task without any delay.

Just at this time, Deyu also came back.

"how?"

"The Dean said that the situation this time is indeed very similar to... a plague. He is still waiting over there to make the specific judgment..." There was a barely detectable tremor in Deyu's voice.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Dongli felt as if everything was settled, but the trembling of his fingers still revealed his panic.

He turned to look at the two of them, "Master Zhao, your family will assist Miss Bai in this matter. I will give you another imperial decree. This matter must be handled well!"

The two nodded in agreement and then left the palace.

Uncle Zhao looked at Bai Qianxi gratefully, "Thanks to you for discovering this matter in advance, otherwise the people of Dongli would be in trouble..."

Whenever he thought that even the prince in the palace could not escape, he couldn't help but feel frightened.

"Lord Zhao, what are you talking about? I also want to thank you for your firm support today. Otherwise, His Majesty would not believe me." Bai Qianxi said with a smile.

As they talked, the two of them parted ways.

Bai Qianxi returned to the Bai Mansion with the bright yellow scroll.

The order to seal off the city quickly spread in Kyoto, and the people who did not know the truth soon became panicked.

"What happened? Why aren't we allowed to go out?"

"Yes, we still have to do business! Otherwise, where will the whole family get food?"

The voices of resistance from the people in the city were quickly suppressed, and all the royal guards were mobilized.

In just one night, the entire imperial capital suddenly became desolate and gloomy.

The Bai family didn't know what happened.
Bai Yan was about to go out to inquire, but was stopped by Bai Qianxi.

"Stop! From today on, no one is allowed to go out!"

"You wicked girl! You control everything in the world and now you even control your father!" Bai Yan didn't expect that he would be stopped by Bai Qianxi when he went out. His face suddenly turned dark.

All his official power exploded instantly, but Bai Qianxi remained as still as a mountain.

"I can't control other people, but from today on, no one in the Bai family is allowed to go out!" Bai Qianxi's eyes were cold.

Since Emperor Dongli has given her this task, she will not allow the Bai family to drag her down!

Moreover, if these people were also infected with the plague, would she save them or not?
"Fifth sister! What are you doing? Why are you stopping father?" Bai Qianyi also came out at this time.

She had finally made an appointment with her sisters today, and she was determined to take this opportunity to improve her reputation, but she didn't expect to be interrupted by Bai Qianxi again!
"Because of this!" Bai Qianxi was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and directly raised the bright yellow imperial edict in her hand.

Turning to look at Bai Yan, he asked, "You have no objection now, right?"
